Avectra, a leading Social CRM developer of web-based member and donor-based software for associations and not-for-profits, has announced it will participate in the annual AE Institute conference held in Louisville, Ky., March 16-20 at the Galt House Hotel. In response to the industry’s wide-spread acceptance and adoption of Avectra’s Social CRM for REALTOR® suite, Avectra will host a roundtable on Social CRM to discuss how REALTOR® Associations can leverage netFORUM, Avectra’s leading membership management software, social platforms, like the Avectra Social Console, as well as leading commercial social tools to drive increased member engagement and bottom line results. Avectra’s netFORUM is the fastest-growing membership management software for REALTOR® associations and built specifically to satisfy NAR's real-time NRDS integration mandate.

The Institute curriculum is geared toward the needs of REALTOR® association executives. The AE Institute provides association executives with presentations, workshops, training and certifications to help them improve and better serve their individual associations.

On Friday, March 16, Avectra will provide additional opportunities to experience the benefits of the only Social CRM suite built specifically to support REALTOR® associations and their members with two complimentary training classes: one class dedicated to netFORUM, Avectra’s membership management software, and one class dedicated to MemberFUSE, Avectra’s private online community platform.
